	The Bullet Wound Ballistics
		Ballistics is an arcane discipline - but somehow it has a very considerable attraction for the gunners - and once you have been smitten by this discipline - the wound remains with you for ever.
		Wound ballistics is an old discipline yet more than 80 percent of what was written about wound ballistics whether or not by experts was false; many misconceptions arose from the tunnel vision of ammunition designers and surgeons who had only a partial understanding of each other's disciplines.
		The wound path of the projectile is known as permanent cavity and the stretching is known as temporary cavity.

	Wound ballistics (Geoff Kotzar; John Bercovitz)
		The characteristics of the wounds produced are a function not only the amount of energy deposited but also the velocity at which the transfer occurs (the impact velocity).
		The wound tracts will be of different lengths as readers of this newsgroup are aware but the diameters of the devitalized tissue are not different enough to be detectable or to require a different form of treatment.
		This was a study that examined wounds in living tissue (goats) and "wound tracts" in 10% gelatin.

		Because of the impracticality of training for head shots, this examination of handgun wounding relative to law enforcement use is focused upon torso wounds and the probable results.
		In this study, the assumption was made that the greater the temporary cavity, the greater the wounding effect of the round.
		However, except for the location of the wound and the amount of tissue destroyed, none of the factors are within the control of the law enforcement officer.

	DUNCAN MACPHERSON: AN INTERVIEW
		Wound ballistics is understandable strictly on the basis of physics and physiology; statements about "power" in any form may make exciting reading, but are almost always devoid of useful information.
		The IWBA has a many members who are law enforcement officers, and aids and encourages them in understanding wound ballistics and in doing their own ammunition testing rather than relying on the opinions of others.
		The main aspect of the Kennedy assassination that would surprise most people is how uncontroversial the wound ballistics aspects are among the physicians in the country who are most experienced in gunshot trauma (I am not one of these, but have talked to several).

		The unnecessary examination and probing of an open wound by one or several clinicians in a hospital environment is conducive to further contamination with pathogenic organisms of a hospital serotype.
		At this time, the wound can be left to granulate closed (skin transplants are rarely used in the dog) or a delayed primary closure is carried out by returning the patient to the operating room and closing the wound after careful inspection and freeing of the skin edges to prevent tension in the suture line.
		Wound ballistics is that branch of science that deals with the motion of missiles within the target tissues.

	JPFO Members Forum - The IWBA
		Wound ballistics, the scientific study of the behavior of projectiles in the living tissues of animals and humans, has been plagued by more than its share of misinformation during the last several decades.
		Wound ballistics misinformation has had numerous deleterious effects upon society including oppressive and counterproductive firearms legislation, decreased law enforcement effectiveness, and even the improper treatment of gunshot injuries.
		What is needed to clear the air and, ultimately, the literature of wound ballistics misinformation is a non-partisan organization solely devoted to the critical, scientific study of all aspects wound ballistics.

		The common assumption is that military conflicts, wound ballistics research, and a steady stream of daily experience in our larger cities have provided the knowledge and skill to assure uniform excellence in treatment of these injuries.
		Wound ballistics research was reduced to taking movies of shots into everything imaginable, and the focus of understanding narrowed to exclude every variable except projectile velocity.
		Fundamental to the use of tissue simulants, in lieu of animals, in wound ballistics is the establishment of their equivalence to animal tissue.

	Ballistics Bibliography
		Wound ballistics is the study of effects on the body produced by penetrating projectiles.
		Wound ballistics is a specialty field that doesn’t receive much exposure outside the few professional disciplines that have a need for valid, scientifically verifiable information about ballistic injury.
		These data are then reproduced on a life sized wound profile which includes a scale to facilitate measurement of tissue disruption dimensions, a drawing of the loaded cartridge case before firing, the bullet weight and morphology before and after firing (and calculated percent of fragmentation), and the striking velocity.

	FIREARMS TUTORIAL
		Wounding is an extremely complex situation with variables of bullet size, velocity, shape, spin, distance from muzzle to target, and nature of tissue.
		In a study by Ordog et al, 1993 wound irrigation and a dressing were required in 79% of 3316 gunshot wounds, while only 1% required local wound debridement and 2% required exploration and removal of the missile.
		Wounding is a function of the type of shot, or pellets, used in the shotgun shell.

	Ballistics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Ballistics is a science which is important for soldiers, law enforcement, hunters, and anyone who seeks to protect their life, their home, and their family.
		Wound ballistics research is supposed to aid the surgeon in providing optimal care for the wounded, but recent trends in ballistics research have not provided the surgeon with objectively determined information.
		Twenty years ago, wounds from penetrating projectiles were likely to be treated in a rational and effective manner; today many surgeons are prone to remove excessive amounts of tissue when treating wounds caused by what they assume to be "high-velocity" projectiles.

	DUNCAN MACPHERSON: AN INTERVIEW
		And yet, as we have seen, wound ballistics scientists point out that no small arm yet invented has the power to physically knock a person over like that.
		MacPherson modestly claims that his book is not of interest to the general public, I do think that serious students of the JFK case should get their hands on it.
		The heart of the book is an exploration of what dynamic factors enter into the act of bullet penetration, and what that might mean in terms of the kind of trauma suffered by the human target.

	LMS Scientific Models - About Us
		The models contained in Wound Ballistics 1.0 are based on many millions of dollars worth of data coming out of the ground-breaking research at the Biophysics Lab over a period of nearly 50 years.
		When implemented in Wound Ballistics 1.0, however, these models had to be supplemented by many proprietary improvements to make them mutually compatible, functionally interactive, and more useful to the target user community.
		LMS Scientific Models is still engaged in Wound Ballistics research and human vulnerability modeling by contract to the Department of Defense and other agencies of the federal government.

		By the latter third of the nineteenth century, Western industrialized nations had learned how to mass-produce wounds in great abundance; what they had yet to develop was the science of wounds, wound ballistics as it came to be called, or the standardization of their production.
		In the United States, the science of wounds had been similarly initiated after WWI by the joint efforts of the Army’s Ordnance and Medical Departments, but “unfortunately, the work was stopped in 1934.” By 1943, however, wounds were again being produced in large numbers.
		Over the course of its study, the Wound Ballistics Research Group fired bearings into water, dough, and gelatin, and through the legs, abdomens, and heads of assorted animals—building the quantitative foundations of the modern science of wound ballistics.

		Most physicians knowledgeable in wound trauma believe that adequate penetration depth is the most important single property in handgun ammunition.
		The appropriate value for minimum penetration depth has generally been assumed to be 12 inches ever since the first FBI wound ballistics meeting in 1987.
		This is the reason the professional wound ballistics community specified the 12 inch minimum penetration even though they are well aware that an 8 inch penetration is usually adequate.

	Wound ballistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The field of wound ballistics largely comprises the study of the physiology and medical effects of projectile weapons (chiefly, but not exclusively, bullets) on humans.
		It can be considered the intersection of medicine and terminal ballistics.

		We want to make you aware of the wealth of wound ballistics information available to you from sources other than newsstand gun magazines.
		The basics of terminal performance, wounding effects and wounding effectiveness are pretty easy for ordinary people to understand, and this creates a conflict of interest for some gun-writers because there really isn't much to write about.
		These pseudo-expert 'master psychics' of wound ballistics want you to believe only they (and they alone) possess the clairvoyance to properly interpret and evaluate the factors that make a particular bullet more effective than others.

	Terminal Ballistics
		I have also nearly completed the terminal ballistics model that I began several years ago now and had to put on the shelf while I was occupied with a demanding project at work.
		Now, before you accuse me of being a wise guy, recall that most theoretical explanations of wounding are tied to the kinetic energy or momentum or some other such physical quantity of the bullet which is "transferred" or imparted to the target.
		My theory recognizes these characteristics, but relies upon a fundamentally different premise, which is that two physically equivalent wound tracks in a game animal will have an equivalent effect, no matter how different were the kinetic energies or other physical attributes of the bullets which caused them.

		Even after the M16 became popular during the Vietnam War the 7.62 cartridge still continued in specialized service by snipers, Navy nuclear weapons guards, Navy Seals, and light machine guns.
		The 7.62 bullet is similar in ballistics to the 30-06
		While the traditional 30-06 caliber bullet of the M1 Garand and 7.62 bullet of the M14 rifle would immediately knock a man down, the 5.56 bullet instead enters the body, quickly turns sideways after passing through only 4" of flesh, then breaks in two major pieces, as well as many smaller fragments.

		For the majority of existing mathematical wound ballistic models the attention is focussed on the military performance degradation of the soldier due to injuries, expressed in terms such as the probability of kill.
		However, the medical consequences of an injury become more and more important, especially when interested in civilian wound ballistics.
